Bill Maher on the Progressive Foot Stompers
I've been a liberal from the time I learned right from wrong. But with the advent of social media a real problem arose. Faux-persecution and faux-outrage by Progressives. It's become a 'boy cried wolf' scenario. REAL issues are lumped in with Little Johnny's whining about...whatever.
Bill Maher makes a great point that a lot of Progressives and Democrats need to hear. The foot-stompers cost Clinton the election in 2016 and it'll happen again unless people start thinking about others. The big picture is much more important than someone's feeeelings.
It's why Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is seen as some kind of hero. She appeals to her generation's selfishness. She's doing things that are harmful to the Progressive movement. It's not about actually implementing policy. It's about "look at me." But as long as her Twitter feed is cookin,' and her supporters can beat their chests, that seems to be enough.
So IMO, Maher NAILED it with this.
